Sacerdotalis Caelibatus §45
Sacerdotalis Caelibatus: On the Celibacy of the Priest
45 We wholeheartedly call on the entire People of God to do their duty in bringing about an increase in priestly vocations. (86) We ask them fervently to beg the Father of all, the divine Spouse of the Church, and the Holy Spirit, her principle of life, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Christ and of His Church, to pour out, especially at present, this divine gift, which the Father certainly does not wish to give stintingly. They should also fervently pray, in like manner, that souls may dispose themselves to receive this gift by a profound faith and a generous love. In this way, in our world which needs God's glory, (81) priests, ever more perfectly conformed to the one and supreme Priest, will be a real glory to Christ, (88) and, through them, "the glory of the grace" of God will be magnified in the world of today. (89)
